Make sure the TV's menu is actually set to connect to that HDMI port.
Make sure the TV is 1080p and is setup to use that resolution on the HDMI port in question.
Try zapping the PRAM, by following these instructions:

Difficut to say why it won't work, but my guess is your vintage iMac (about 2007) was never designed to output via HDMI. Your adapter appears correct (thanks for the Amazon link) so if you want to persist, you can contact Amazon and request and exchange to check it. But I suspect you will need to use VGA or if your TV has it DVI which would mean using a mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
One last thought is you could invest in an Apple TV and then do it wirlessly. That would work too but requires and AppleTV to accomplish it, of course you can use the AppleTV for streaming other data too including video, photos, music etc....

New Mini 2010 tells "no cabel connected to ethernetport"

Hi Folks,
two days ago I bought a new Mini 2,4 HDMI (not Server!). I cloned my old 10.6.4 SL Server to that new Mini and tried to connect to my network. Nothing happend - prefs told me "no cable conneced to ethernet port". I checkt everything - cable workes fine on my old Mini. After that I than reinstalled from the original System DVD of the new mini to ckeck if ethernetport workes - and it did!!!!
So the mini hardware is working fine and is no DOA.
After recloning my SL Server - same again - "no cabel connected to ethernetport" - T triwed all kinds of reset: PMReset, PRReset a.s.o
can anyone help me - it makes not a lot of fun to work the server only eith Airport
Peter
P.S. I also tried all updates provided on the support page - Special Mini 2010 Update, Comboupdate a.s.o.
*please help me!!!*

I have the exact same problem. I cloned the OS disk of my previous mac mini (also with 10.6.4) and the ethernet cable shows as not connect. If I boot from the original Snow Leopard Server that came with the new mac mini, the ethernet cable shows as connected, and everything works. (I also have tried replugging / changing the ehternet cables)
If I compare the .kext from /System/Library/Extensions between the old and new mini, I see that some files are different. Maybe the old mini is missing the drivers needed to work with the new hardware ?
I tried copying kext files, and hosed the system in the process

New Mini (HDMI) with CRT Big Screen TV (RP)

Is anyone using the new Mini with a CRT TV. I have a Mitsubishi WS-65813 rear projection TV that I'd like to connect to the New Mini using HDMI to DVI. I had one of the older Mini's and the problem was the screen on the TV was not full screen or it was over-scanned, depending on the option I picked.
My question is if I connect the New Mini (HDMI-DVI) to MY TV will it fit native, meaning will it fit the screen without the above mentioned? I'd love to have the ability to watch HULU.
PS. I'd love to get a new LCD TV but the WS-65813 has a superior picture, and it has a 65 inch screen. Only 1080i, 480p, 480i, and Firewire. NO 720p.

So there's and overscan and a underscan now? Is this different from previous generation Mini's?
They actually removed the overscan function. I'm not sure how many people were using it. Very few I suspect (thus why it was removed).
The underscan function is implemented as a slider. You move it to the right until you can just see the perimeter of the Mac desktop.
Ideally, it should be all the way to the left, in a perfect world. Because you are losing resolution by using the underscan function.
But obviously many TVs do require it. And Apple kindly lets you adjust it to just the level that you need for your particular display device.
I don't know if the the underscan function is limited to only certain screen resolutions. I can't test it right now. But I will when I can. Or perhaps someone else in this discussion will have an opportunity to do so and share their findings.

Then it is working! This is how it works:
Your built-in screen and you external screen are each show at sizes proportional to their pixel count. If this is not the correct arrangement, then drag the screens so that they correspond with their placement on your bench.
Then move the mouse off the edge of one screen, and it appears on the other. Next drag a window across to the other screen.

Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or Mini-DVI to DVI cable?

I know Apple has a couple different Mini-DVI adapters for their Powerbook and MacBook computers. I don't especially like adapters and was wondering if anyone knows of a Mini-DVI to DVI cable.
Also, with the gaining popularity of HDMI, do you think we will ever see a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or cable?

Hi,
I know it is changing the subject, but I've been long frustrated by Apple's penchant for odd connectors, especially video connectors. Remember old quadras with 13 pin D connectors, powerbooks with square connectors, 7100s with I-don't-know-what connectors? All the while, ye olde VGA 15-pin D-sub connector was on just about everything else - even gas chromatographs.
We also got that funny mini-dix (Digital-Intel-Xerox) Ethernet connector on powerbooks when PCs were outfitted with familiar RJ-45 jacks. I did see one other machine that had the mini-dix: a government spec Zenith notebook.
I'm surprised Apple didn't use a VGA connector on the Macbook, given its above average exposure in the educational environment and greater than average odds of being hooked up to a lectern in a distance learning room. Pretty much to a tee, every distance learning setup I've seen has a VGA cable at the presenter's lectern. I worked in a university IT department, and it was pretty common for our loaner laptops to come back missing just about any ancillary goodie that could be misplaced. It isn't so bad to have to routinely stuff a new $2.00 cat-5 cable in the bag, but a $20.00 video dongle - not so good!
If Apple just couldn't countenance the idea of a VGA connector, I wonder how hard it would have been to have a normal size DVI connector? At least DVI-to-VGA connectors are easier to find, and better, aren't so expensive.

Mini DVI to HDMI problems with 46" Samsung TV

I bought a cable with mini DVI to HDMI at the Apple store. My new TV works great with a PC laptop, but my MBA (13") doesn't seem to be sending all the info to the TV. I get some windows, but not all of the window. I think I'm dead in the water here. Any ideas?

Hey redhead,
I have the same setup. Try messing around with the cable, it might not be properly connecting. Mine is pretty finicky and can lose connection if it's not sitting "just right". Also, just in case, click on "gather windows" on the bottom of the display settings dialog box. Then check to see if the Toshiba settings dialog box shows up. If it does, that means the TV is actually connected but the resolution settings have not be properly set yet. So if "gathering windows" gets you your TV's settings window, change the resolution to "1080p" if it offers that. If it doesn't, just go through all of the resolutions until you find one that works/works best.

My Mini-DVI to HDMI to TV connection stopped working - tried everything

I have been using a generic mini-dvi to hdmi dongle plus a HDMI cable to connect my white intel imac to my television. It has worked great and flawlessly until very recently. Now the TV says "no signal". Screen still flashes blue when dongle is plugged in/out. Flashes blue when TV turned on/off. Nothing was changed in my setup. I have tested the mini-dvi port with the Apple Mini-DVI to S-video/video dongle (worked), tried a new minidvi-hdmi dongle (fail), tested the HDMI cable (good), and tested other ports on the TV, as well as resetting the TV to defaults. Still not working.
At this point, I was assuming it was a software problem, even though starting from a restore disk or in safe mode did not solve this. Could this be a software issue? Is my video card only doing analog signals? My TV is less than 6 months old, so I doubt its that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I usually can solve these things myself, but this time it's vexing me. Thanks.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter ... yes or no

Hi
Is it possible to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter like this one to connect the HDMI out port on my Nokia N8 to my 27" imac?
http://www.monoprice.com/products/notify.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=5311&cmd=ansubmit
Thank you

You are right: Thunderbolt supports both Mini DisplayPort cables and adapters without any problem, but Mini DisplayPort does not support Thunderbolt cables.
If you have got an Apple display with Mini DisplayPort, you can use it with the new Mac Pro. Just use the Mini DisplayPort cable or adapter you need. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#22

Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

White MacBook 2.16, mini-DVI to HDMI, no audio

I have connected a 32" Sony HDTV to my MacBook via a short adapter cable, mini-DVI to HDMI, and then a 3m HDMI cable. The video is excellent and although there is sound output from Macbook, there is none from the TV. Any suggestions how to get audio through the TV?

Just to add in case someone else views this thread via a Google search.
None of the Apple video adapters (for the current and previous portable line up) support audio through them, even the newer MacBooks and MacBook Pros with MiniDisplay Port. There are 3rd party adapters that have all the necessary cabling for audio and video but those are not available through Apple.

Is it possible to buy a mini-dvi to HDMI cable?

Hi,
At the minute I'm pulling my hair out!!
Is it possible to buy a cable to connect my 20" Intel iMac via it's mini dvi socket at the back, to a large widescreen lcd tv via HDMI socket on the tv?
I have telephoned numerous companies on the net and they have never heard of a mini dvi socket (like the one on the back of the imac)!! Apple say I need a mini-dvi to dvi female cable but of course they don't sell them.
Guys what do I need, and where would I get it? I've already bought a HDMI-A Male to DVI-D Male cable but it doesn't fit the mac, is there an adaptor I can buy or do I need a new cable also?
Help really appreciated.

I misunderstood you. I thought you had a link to a mini-DVI to HDMI cable. That's why I asked for the link.
You can use the adapter you linked to and get a DVI to HDMI cable locally and it will work for you.
Sorry about the confusion on my part.

Connecting my macbook pro 13" to Sony bravia via mini Displayport to HDMI

Hi,
yesterday I bought a new LCD TV Sony Bravia KDL-32EX600 (Full-HD LED) that has 4 x HDMI inputs.
I also bought a mini Displayport to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI cable.
When I connect it to my computer, the screen goes blue for a second and it doesn't recognise any additional displays. There's also no video or sound in the TV, on the right HDMI channel. (I've tried every HDMI input and every channel)
I've tested the TV with another laptop that has straight HDMI output from the gfx card and it works perfectly.
I have up-to-date MacOS and I also upgraded my TV's firmware to the latest.
I thought that maybe the miniDisplayport to HDMI connector is broken but why does the computer try to do something when I turn on the correct channel on the TV?
I'm out of ideas..

Hi madhenry,
I know it's a month on from your post, but I thought I'd add that I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to connect my new MacBook Pro (15" core i7) to my Sony Bravia KDL-40EX600 using a mini displayport to HDMI adapter. When I plug the cable in, the MBP screen goes blue for one second then goes back to normal, but the system just doesn't detect the external display.
I've tried the MBP on other monitors and it works fine, so there is nothing wrong with the adapter or cable.
I've also tried plugging two other Macs into the TV (a 2008 15" MacBook Pro and a 2008 MacBook) and the TV works great with both of them.
So, it seems there's something specific to the new MacBook Pros that makes them incompatible with the Sony EX600 TVs.
I just talked to AppleCare about it and after trying a few things (resetting the PRAM, etc.) I was simply told that there's nothing wrong at all with the Mac and that this is simply a "compatibility" issue that I have to put up with. So, it looks like we're out of luck until (hopefully) a new Mac OS update fixes the issue.
